Smart offers all-in-one load bundle to prepaid users

MANILA, Philippines - Leading wireless services provider Smart Communications now have an affordable, all-in-one load bundle which allows prepaid subscribers to use text messaging to post updates on and receive alerts from popular social networks Facebook, Friendster and Twitter.

Company officials said Smart Buddy’s AllTxt Combo Plus is the perfect bundle for anyone with an account in any of these massively popular networks as it allows them not only to call and send SMS and MMS, but also to update their social networks, all for as low as P25 per day.

“Mobile subscribers these days no longer just call or text to keep in touch with their friends and family or to share news — they also update their status, write on ‘walls’ and ‘tweet’, too. Most would wish that they could do this on-the-go, on their cellphone, just like texting, without having to get on the Internet. Ideally, it could also work on any phone, even the older handsets, and that it wouldn’t cost too much on top of the staple call and text package. The Smart Buddy AllTxt Combo Plus makes all this possible,” Smart wireless consumer division head Danilo Mojica said.

AllTxt Combo Plus provides Smart prepaid subscribers with a cost-effective method of updating their social networks since it does not require connecting to the Internet, and works on even older, 2G handsets.

Mojica said the addition of ‘e-Txts’, or the service that allows subscribers to send updates to social networks via SMS, to the traditional call and text ‘bucket’ services “is a first of its kind in the world and creates for Smart the opportunity to make our subscribers’ Smart Buddy SIMs more relevant to them by offering more connectivity options.”

AllTxt Combo Plus is available in six variants, each one tailored to a specific budget and a preferred social network.
